Q:

Bucking of column means

A) Lateral deflection B) Axial deflection
C) Torsional deflection D) None of the listed
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) None of the listed

Explanation: Buckling is characterised by lateral deflection but it is different from lateral deflection as there is sudden lateral deflection in buckling unlike lateral deflection where there is gradual deflection.

Q:

Which type of rope drum is preferred?

A) Drums with helical grooves B) Plain cylindrical drums
C) Both are equally preferred D) None of the listed
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Drums with helical grooves

Q:

Rope operating over steel sheaves wear slowly than those used in conjunction with cast iron sheaves.

A) True B) False
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) False

Explanation: Rope operating over steel sheaves wear faster. If wear on cast iron sheave is 100, than wear on steel sheave is 110.

Q:

Small sheaves are preferred over large sheaves on what parameters?

A) Increasingly centrifugal force in large sheaves B) Higher cost of small sheaves
C) Preferring centrifugal force reduction even for more money D) None of the listed
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Increasingly centrifugal force in large sheaves

Explanation: Larger sheaves have higher centrifugal forces and higher cost because more material is used in their construction.

Number of rope wires is assumed to be 2. Calculate the weight of wire if weight of 50m wire is 18kg. Calculate the force due to acceleration.

A) 1000N B) 309.144N
C) 504.225N D) 102.225N
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 309.144N

Explanation: Mass of material raised by each wire rope= 2450/9.81 = 249.7kg. Mass of each wire rope= 77.7/9.81 =7.92kg. Force due to acceleration= [249.7+7.92] x 1.2.
